Christmas by the river at the Marriott County Hall.

by Holly on December 13, 2011

The Marriott County Hall is lucky to enjoy a prime position on London’s South Bank making it an ideal base to experience the city’s festivities.

This stretch of the Thames really comes into its own over the Christmas period.  Here is a top 5 of ”things you shouldn’t miss” this Christmas:

  1. The London Eye: skate at its ice rink or enjoy breathtaking views of a decorated London from one of its pods, especially on a night flight.
  2. Royal Festival Hall: join the London Philharmonic Choir in full 18th-century costume performing Handel’s grand choral masterpiece, the Messiah, in an evocative candlelit setting
  3. Real Food Christmas Market: explore the stalls and take your tastebuds on a festive food adventure.
  4. South Bank Christmas Market: buy gifts, ride the carousel or sip on some warming mulled wine.
  5. Westminster Abbey: head across the river for the traditional Midnight Mass in Westminster Abbey.

After adventuring, head back to the Marriott County Hall’s Rotunda Lounge for a winter warmer.  This Christmas they’ve designed four unique festive tipples. Take your pick from the magical winter cocktail menu including: Chocolate Gingerbread, 2512, The Georgian and The Victorian.

Then, if all that alcohol leaves you a little unsteady on your feet, you can float upstairs to your room, courtesy of the Marriott County Hall’s three Christmas packages, which start from £246 per night (minimum 2 night stay applies to all packages).  Those who like to indulge will love the Special Occasion Christmas Package which includes champagne and chocolates in a room with river views ((from £309/night); there is also a “Silver Bells” package which includes a festive three-course meal and tickets to the London Eye from £330 per room per night.
